HUNTSVILLE, Texas - Condemned Texas inmates are allowed to choose the final meal they’ll consume on the day of their execution, and Lawrence Russell Brewer has selected his final meal for Wednesday, according to KFDM.com

Brewer will receive the final meal at about 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Walls Unit in Huntsville, prior to his execution, scheduled for some time after 6 p.m.

According to Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman Michelle Lyons, Brewer has selected:

*Two chicken fried steaks smothered in gravy with sliced onions

*A triple meat bacon cheeseburger with fixings on the side

*A cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and jalapenos.

*A large bowl of fried okra with ketchup

*One pound of barbecue with half a loaf of white bread

*Three fajitas with fixings

*A meat lovers pizza

*Three root beers

*One pint of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream

*A slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts

Lyons told KFDM News the TDCJ tries to accomodate an inmate’s request-within reason. The items must be available in the TDCJ kitchen. She said they don’t always provide the quantity of each item specified by the inmate.
